At ISUM Headquarters in Meridian City, all the Vice President's appointed by the CEO had gathered for a conference called by VP of Commerce Drake Richards, who was in charge of the government during the CEO's absence at the International Trade Conference. The topic of the day: unknown. However, rumors had been circulating that the CEO and Richards had been planning something the past few weeks, and many hoped this meeting would be the grand unveiling of their plan. As it so happened, the unveiling that took place was one that the entire population of United Meridian had waited for a long time. "Ladies and gentleman," Richards began, "The ISUM is too big for it's own shoes." Everyone had a chuckle at this. It was an old joke in the government. The ISUM's ever growing economic expansion had recently been withheld because there simply wasn't enough land on the tiny Meridian Islands to accomodate the kind of growth that the country was moving towards. "As you know, International Trade has always been vital to the ISUM simply because our landlocked country cannot support the sort of economic power we have achieved." All the VP's nodded in unison. The opinion was, after all, a common one. "So, by order of the CEO and the spirit and voice of the people of United Meridian, the ISUM is globalizing in Atlantian Oceania." A cheer rose from the table. Everyone knew what this meant. The day had finally come. The ISUM was going global. "Telegrams will be sent to every nation in Atlantian Oceania. The time has come for the ISUM to do what it was born to do: business and trade." Another cheer flamed up from the table. And with a mischevious wink to the VP of Foreign Policy, Richards turned to the table and said: "Time to make friends."

Benjamin Clark sat down in his chair to begin another night of work, reading some of the many messages that the CEO received from foreign nations to determine their importance. This one, it seemed, was from the Vice President of Commerce of United Meridian. That must be some bureaucracy they have, Clark thought, to have to have both a president and a vice-president in charge of what seemed to be only a single part of their government. He began reading the message. Hmm…“special benefits”…wait, did he just use the T word?…“unmatched production capacity,” indeed! Might as well handle this one myself…

From the desk of Ug-Mt, Robber Captain of Az-cz Mr. Drake Richards, We are interested in establishing relations with your country. As a base none of your proposed goals are in objection. We would welcome ISUM corporations within our country, allow use to our airports, the establishment of Embassies and already your people are free to come if they so choose. However, if you did want to come you would have to follow Az-czid regulations. We notice that you neither care for your citizen's nor your environment's well being. While we are disappointed that you have chosen to do so, if your citizens have accepted such a way of living there is nothing we can do about the issue, however we will not allow such things in Az-cz. We are interested in having you come, but it must be to mutual benefit. Ug-Mt |
